This one started off terribly for Detroit. The second batter of the game reached on a strikeout/passed ball, and Hurter, who should have thrown an easy one-two-three frame, gave up a double, two walks, a HBP and a single with two outs, making the score 4-0. Gipson-Long came in and prevented further damage in the inning, but the Tigers never got back into the contest. At least Gipson-Long went on to get 19 outs, five more than in any of his previous three appearances, on only 68 pitches. Still, the home run ball did him in. He’s allowed five of those in 17 2/3 innings since returning from elbow surgery.

Torkelson has been scuffling in recent weeks, hitting .198 (21-for-106) with five homers and 14 RBI over his last 30 games. He’s slid into a deeper tailspin of late, batting .083 (2-for-24) over his last seven games. The positive angle here is that he’s not striking out at an astronomical rate. However, the Tigers have a capable alternative in Colt Keith, especially against right-handed starters, which is why he’s getting the nod to face Rays starter Ryan Pepiot on Saturday afternoon instead.

After facing an early 4-0 deficit, Greene got the Tigers back in the game with a 432-foot (108.1 mph EV) three-run blast off of Shane Baz in the third inning. He then walked to lead off the sixth inning and scored on an RBI double off the bat of Parker Meadows. Greene also led off the eighth inning with a 381-foot (111.2 mph EV) solo shot off of Eric Orze that pulled the Tigers to within five runs at 11-6. With his three-hit attack, the sizzling 24-year-old outfielder is now slashing .287/.341/.526 with 17 long balls and 59 RBI.

Yikes. Flaherty also issued three free passes while striking out three batters on the night. The Rays jumped on him early and often in this one, as Yandy Diaz blasted a leadoff home run to spark a four-run rally in the opening inning. After navigating a scoreless second, the Rays went right back to work in the third inning as Taylor Walls smacked a three-run double that mercifully chased Flaherty from the game. He now holds an uninspiring 4.83 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a 93/31 K/BB ratio across 78 1/3 innings on the season. He’ll try to pick up the pieces on Thursday when he takes on the Athletics.
